Hatten's beer of choice:

Once upon a time you could walk into any bar in western Canada and say "Gimme a High Test", and be served what Jim showed in his picture. Probably wasn't much better or worse than any of the other swill available in Canada then, and not all that much better than the US equivalent.

Thank god times (and beers) have changed.

Best dam Canadian beer "Scandal", even if it is made from 100% organic malts and hops.

You gotta get that shite really cold and drink it fast. As good as any bad beer. But on the bright side, small local operations like Howe Sound seem to be doing a good job.

Wow, Ben - I haven't seen either of those beers advertised since like Hockey Night in Canada back in the 60's and 70's. I think they are both available, however I don't believe anyone drinks them up here. They may ship them down to the Merricans, however. I have seen obscure Canadian beers on the shelves down in the states, that nobody up here drinks.

I tried the Bud Light lime and it tasted pretty lame, never tried the mojito.

You Merricans pretty much wrote the book on disasterous beer-based coolers. See up here in the Great White North, Mike's Hard Lemonade is a 7% drink, and the label reads "an excellent source of vodka". All the teen girls drink the stuff. Down in the states, however, instead of adding the distillate, they instead brew it like a beer, giving it a beery taste which doesn't work at all in the lemonade.

And all the stuff in the states is made that way! Man, I remember one time in Hawai'i buying some "hard iced tea" expecting it to be similar to the vodka stuff here. It tasted so beer-y it was undrinkable. And I love beer!

I'm a beer geek, not a beer snob, because if you're being snobby about beer, you're definitely doing something wrong.

Dieu du Ciel is a damn fine Canadian brewery, located in Montreal. In the near future they will be brewing a collaboration beer with New Belgium. Look out for that gem!

Someone already said it: Unibroue beers are GOOD. "Fin du Monde" and "La Terrible" are my favorites.

Bud Light lime is of course awful. Anyone ever tried Bud Light Chelada? I see them here in California but will never try one.

Wow, I'd totally forgotten about O'Keefe's Extra Bad Stock. I was reduced
to drinking it the winter I had to hit the mattresses up on Mt Washington.
The Chicago wise guys never had a clue. Man, I could totally walk the
streets of Comox with nary a worry!
